marked repeatedly both by teachers

OPERATIONS OF THIEVES.
Masked Men Rob a Grocery Store-Several
Places Visited by Night Marauders.

Last night at o'clock the clerk in Furnas &
Sons grocery store, at No. 453 Clifford avenue
counting the change in the money drawer,
preparatory to closing the store for the night,
when three masked men entered the rear door,
and. each drawing a revolver. commanded him
to not speak. or they would shoot him. They
compelled him to hold up his hands. and. while
one of them held a revolver at his face, another
watched the frontdoor, the third appropriated the
contents of the money-drawer. amounting to
S25.oo. and several boxes of cigars The thieves
then instructed the clerk to not move for five
minutes or they would return and shoot him,
ana lett the store AS as they were gone
the clerk gave the alarm. but the thieves had
made their escape. They were so well masked
that he was unable to furnish any reliable de-
scription of them to the police. The robbery is
regarded by the police as one of the most daring
that has been committed in the city for years.
and convinces them that there are some very
dangerous men in the city.
r, The thieves and burglars that have infested
the city for several weeks made an improbable
visit among the residents of the northern extern
SION OF College avenue Tuesday night. They
nrst went to the stable on w. G. Shocks prop
erty, at the corner of College avenue and CLYDE
street, and stole the family horse which is
twenty-five years of age. and with the horse
Upon finding the horse worthless, it was turned
loose, and early yesterday morning was picked
up by the police and returned to Mr.. Smock
After leaving Mr.. Smock's place the burglars
went to the residence of William Losev. on Col
lege avenue near Fall Creek Between and
o'clock Mr.. Losey was awakened by the men in
his room. and by the dimly burning light saw
two of them in the act of going through his
clothing He reached for his revolver, but be-
fore he could get hold of it the fed, leaving
new overcoat and pair of shoes in the hall
way, where they had partly disrobed themselves
before going into his room Nothing of any
value was missed from the house.
An hour later Benjamin McCready. living on
Central avenue, Eleventh street. heard a
noise in his chicken house, and, quietly awaken
ing German servant, gave him shotgun and
told him to steal out and get shot at the thieves
If possible. The German went out and waited
for the men to appear. Presently two of them
emerged, each carrying several fowls, and he
fired at the one in the rear. The thief, accord
ing to the statement ofthe German to the police
jumped five feet high and both men dropped
their chickens and ran. The German thinks
there is no doubt about his hitting the one at
whom he aimed.
Some time during Tuesday night a cart was
backed UP to the coal bin of George H. johnson,
corner of New York and Illinois streets as
shown by the tracks yesterday morning and
fifteen bushels of coal stolen. The bin could
only be reached by passing through the yard,
and then unlocking the door.
